Welcome To The Washington Commanders Brian Robinson RB Alabama

[AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy]

Holy hell. Get well soon BR.

[Sacks 'n' Stuff]

I like this kid. Don’t know if he’s explosive enough to be a top tier back but he’s a bruiser and a nice piece.

[NoVaSkins21]

This team has a thunder and lightning tandem with BRob and Gibson.  BRob is the thundering, bruising RB while Gibson the dynamic lightning quick RB.  This combo will be critical for the stretch run to come

He provides so much to the run game. How many times is he dragging guys 4+ yards not just after contact but literally on his back.

He definitely seemed more explosive to me pre getting shot, I bet he's gonna get get better over time. I refuse to believe this is his top tier burst

[Going Commando]

Yeah he'll get quicker and more confident, not just as he gets further from a traumatic attack, but also just from seeing more things on the field via reps.  Decisiveness comes with experience.  Looks like the game is slowing down for Gibby in year three and it won't take as long for the same to happen with BRob because he came into the NFL further ahead in his development.

[Leonard Washington]

Impressive game from him yesterday. Hopefully we can steal some concepts from the falcons, they were generating some nice running lanes. 

[Peregrine]

To be honest, he hadnt impressed me leading up into the last 2 weeks, seemed Gibson would get more yards on a carry because he just saw the holes better.  But the last two weeks I think has been a huge improvement for him, along with his bruising style he seems to have started seeing the holes better and getting those extra yards BEFORE contact.  Hopefully he can keep that up, will be special if he can.

 

And to be fair he has the best excuse ever for it taking him a little longer to learn some things.

Yep I’ve also been a bit undecided but he really looks like he’s going to be one Hell of a back for us.

[Warhead36]

He looked like the back we saw in preseason. He's got a lot of Stephen Davis in him.

Told one of my Eagles buddy yesterday during the game that I really think BRob will at some point in his career could be the NFLs leading rusher!
 

Imagine 20-25 carries a game and him being fully healthy physically and mentally?  Henry is getting up there and Taylor plays for a bad offense. His biggest challenge could be Chubb but he has competition for carries with Hunt. All other offenses in todays NFL are too pass happy.

I'm less confident about that, especially the 20-25 carries part. As illogical as this sounds, I feel like he and Gibson have "chemistry" with the way they are sharing the load. It doesn't make sense to say that two guys who aren't on the field at the same time have chemistry, and yet, it seems like it's working in a way where they both thrive off of each other.  Kudos to the coaches I guess for figuring it out.

Robinson at Alabama looked more explosive than what we've seen here until yesterday.  Naturally, his gun shots I am sure derailed him to some extent.  but the dude I saw yesterday reminded me some of his play in college.  The other thing we haven't seen much of yet is his pass catching ability.  He's not like a Kamara type but he does have sneaky good hands in spite of his drop yesterday.

I can understand we have a 2 headed backfield committee but in the second half yesterday it was BRob who had the rushing carries with Jonathan Williams sprinkled in. Gibson was on the sidelines. I think we will see more of that where Gibby get occasional rushes but maybe less than 10 per game.

I don't think they deviate too far from what is working.

 

Yesterday was the perfect game to sprinkle in a more north south guy due to the conditions.

Gibby was out there doing spin moves in the rain lol.

[RandyHolt]

Sneaky good hands. Like Perine.  USE THEM.

Just imagine how good our running game will be once we upgrade the oline this off-season.  I know the bigger issue is pass protection but the running game can only get better if we can move Cosmi back inside and upgrade the LT and center.

I made a comment early in the GDT about BRob looking like a large, but average back and it was like he heard me.

[CommanderCarson]

This kid is going to be special.

[HigSkin]

Bummer, he was runner up to Perine of all backs.  Brandt featured Robinson's TD run.

 

 

[IrepDC]

Go back and count how many 2 or 3 yard runs where Robinson drags DBs, LBs, and even tosses aside a DT for 3 to 5 extra yards. Make no mistake he was the engine to our offense Sunday. That PFF grade seems low when you break down the film.
